This is what you'll want to do:
0 0 * * * /path/to/mysqldump -u[username] -p[username] [database] > /path/to/backup.sql
Put that above in your crontab (you might want to tar/gzip it too if it's big)
then download it via cron to your local box.
You could also look into rsync.

mysqldump
check it out, either man or google
then ftp that file down, load it wherever, and mysql database < dump.sql

Hi,
Say I'm not really confident in the prowess of my server, and I want to
download my database onto my computer. Can that be done? What can I look
(FTP access) in the directory structure. I guess, where is it usually
located?
Thanks.
